She graduated from Greensboro Senior High School in January 1934. Mother loved the Lord and was a faithful servant to His call. She was a member of Shannon Hills Chapel for many years until she joined her daughter Marylin at Fairview Baptist Church. 

Mother was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Hugh Leslie Gerringer; parents; brothers James, Malcom, Charles, Edward and sisters Janie Ridge and Flora Thomas. Left to cherish her memory are her children Hugh (Ruth) Gerringer of Raleigh, Jane Williams, Marylin (Larry) Nichols, Edward "Eddie" Gerringer all of Greensboro and John (Kate) Gerringer of Milford, Ma.; daughter in law, Janice Gerringer and brother in law Dennis (Peggy) Gerringer both of Greensboro, and good friend Ina Brower.

The family will receive friends from 6-8:00 P.M. Sunday at Forbis and Dick, N. Elm Street and other times at her granddaughter's Frances Fisher, 871 Halsbrook Rd. 

Thank you to the staff of Loyalton of Greensboro and Woodland Place. Special thank you to the staff of Golden Living Center for the love and care they gave Mother and our family in her final race in life and the Hospice staff, especially nurse Jan who made the process easier and to Donna who held our hands as we grieved our loss. To Norma Jean Coble, her roommate and friend at Loyalton, thank you for loving Mother and taking such good care of her. 
470, Edna McIver Gerringer
